    Summary

    "There, now I remember why I had a huge crush on you during the Academy."
    ​Alhaitham looks at him, his glass halfway down.
    Silence.
    "No, that's not true."

    Or

    When Kaveh lets slip that he had a huge crush on his current roommate during his time at the Academy, Alhaitham does the only thing that comes naturally to him: he debunks the theory due to a lack of empirical data. Too bad, for once, the smartest man in Sumeru has programmed his memories terribly. (And Tighnari and Cyno, frankly, are really fed up with being spectators anymore.)

    Summary

    Alhaitham is on a vacation to Fontaine when his boat is pirated by young members of the Fatui. In order to save his own life and avoid getting caught in political crossfire, Alhaitham did the only reasonable course of action— leap overboard.

    Unfortunately, he’s not that strong of a swimmer.

    Alhaitham should have drowned off the shores of Petrichor, however he instead woke up in a well-decorated undersea cave.

    Something rescued him, and now Alhaitham thinks he might be caught by this siren’s charm.

    Summary

    Kaveh stumbled home one night, bloodied and injured from a run-in with mercenaries hired by Sachin's son, who was desperate to recoup any amount of money from his father's now-inherited estate.

    Nobody liked that. Alhaitham least of all.

    Summary

    Nahida squeezes his hand.

    “I sense a great loneliness in you,” she murmurs. “You have recently lost someone important—someone you are not yet sure you can learn to live without.”

    Al-Haitham doesn’t reply.

    “I understand loneliness,” Nahida says softly. “I understand the pain of having no one but yourself to keep you company.

    “In return for my power, I will take your loneliness. You will no longer have to worry about whether you can live without her. You will already know you can.”

    (What is a peaceful life if not one without pain?)

    Summary

    The man’s expression turns from stoic to hopeful for the briefest moment. “You think you can fix them?”

    Kaveh raises an eyebrow. “Of course, I can fix them,” He says proudly. “I can fix most anything. Clocks, compasses, hydrometers, hygrometers, barometers–”

    “-- And earpieces?”

    And earpieces. I’m sure of it.”

    An adventurer, a craftsman - the times they meet, the long stretches in between, and eventually the hope for something beyond monotony.
